Question

I need to do a Distinct search in the following query:

$listings = $this->Listing->query("SELECT DISTINCT(Listing.listnumber),Listing.*, ClientEvent.*, Client.*, UserLog.*, Agent.* FROM listings Listing
                        LEFT JOIN client_events ClientEvent ON ClientEvent.listnumber = Listing.listnumber
                        LEFT JOIN clients Client ON Client.clnt_id = ClientEvent.clnt_id
                        LEFT JOIN user_logs UserLog ON UserLog.ul_item_id = Listing.listnumber
                        LEFT JOIN agents Agent ON Agent.agnt_id = Listing.agnt_id
                        WHERE Listing.off_id = '{$off_id}' AND (UserLog.ul_type = 'listing.new_listing' OR Listing.listnumber LIKE '3330%')");

However, this gives me the correct result, but duplicates. I need DISTINCT results.

Any ideas?

    $listings = $this->Listing->query("SELECT Listing.listnumber FROM listings Listing
                            LEFT JOIN client_events ClientEvent ON ClientEvent.listnumber = Listing.listnumber
                            LEFT JOIN clients Client ON Client.clnt_id = ClientEvent.clnt_id
                            LEFT JOIN user_logs UserLog ON UserLog.ul_item_id = Listing.listnumber
                            LEFT JOIN agents Agent ON Agent.agnt_id = Listing.agnt_id
                            WHERE Listing.off_id = '{$off_id}' AND (UserLog.ul_type = 'listing.new_listing' OR Listing.listnumber LIKE '3330%') group by Listing.listnumber");

Put your extar column not a tablename.*...

    $listings = $this->Listing->query("SELECT Listing.listnumber, colname1,.. FROM listings Listing
                            LEFT JOIN client_events ClientEvent ON ClientEvent.listnumber = Listing.listnumber
                            LEFT JOIN clients Client ON Client.clnt_id = ClientEvent.clnt_id
                            LEFT JOIN user_logs UserLog ON UserLog.ul_item_id = Listing.listnumber
                            LEFT JOIN agents Agent ON Agent.agnt_id = Listing.agnt_id
                            WHERE Listing.off_id = '{$off_id}' AND (UserLog.ul_type = 'listing.new_listing' OR Listing.listnumber LIKE '3330%') group by Listing.listnumber");
